Many farmers have found real profits in setting up a game reserve and charging hunters to use it They've planted cover and food for pheasants, and they charge hunters from $5 to $7.50 for each bird killed. City hunters like this arrangement, because it cuts down their travel and saves them a lot of time and trouble in locating un posted land. Their game can provide sizeable additional income for you. Building water storage in ponds can offer a cash income in fishing, and over your 3-year contract you can build up a natural foundation for a livestock operation. Although you can't use this water during the terra of your contract to irrigate any land except that under contract, you can develop an over-all irrigation supply for your entire farm during the contract term. You can't let cattle on the contract land to get water, but you can pipe water away from the land for livestock use on other land where it improves grazing management Trees are another good crop, and a good stand will build up the value of your conservation reserve about as fast as any crop. Tree contracts run for 10 years and you can thin if good man agement requires, but you cannot sell Christmas trees or green ery during the contract period. Trees for planting are available at low cost from state nurseries. There's not much information available to guide you in handling your reserve. Massey-Ferguson's researchers found that most efforts have been aimed at how to get the most out of land, not how to handle it when it's been taken out of production. Most farmers can make more money cropping their land, but if you own some of the 13 million acres in the soil bank, you'll make your biggest profits by following a plan that will build up the value of the land while it's in the bank. Grass is one good way to do this, because it's an excellent soil builder, and some experts think it will lick the dust bowl problem. One other big item to take advantage of is the cost-sharing features of the program. You can recover up to 80 percent of the cost of the practices that have been approved by your county ASC committee. , The top payment for land in the soil bank is only $25 per acre, and the U. S. average is $13.50, but with sound and sensible management you can get this payment for the term of your contract and come ou of it with land worth far more per acre than it was when you went into the program. Over The Tee Cup im aviation SPRAYING-FERTILIZING DUSTING-SEEDING HOME OWNED AND OPERATED We're As Near As Your Telephone PHONE LEXINGTON DAY OR NIGHT 3-8422 After ten days of sand and sun at the beach, it seems rath er good to be home, inbiblng in the ol' tee cup again (altho' it was aptly filled by Marie McQuarrie In my absence). Tuesday morning, we gals met at the course for our usual week ly golfing bee," and managed to play nine holes before the rains came." Those playing were Ro berta Dougherty, Gene Case, Vel ma Glass, Helen Schaffltz, Cora mae Ferguson, Delores McDow ell, Kay Robinson, Maxine Gray, Hester Creswick, Lucille Peck, Cork Norene, Vivian Williams, Bonnie Mattoon, Marie McQuar rie, Gladys Snyder and myself. We didn't award any prizes as we played our first matches in our handicap tournament. First round winners were Bonnie, Hes ter, Kay, Velma, Cork, Vivian, Maxine and myself. We plan to complete the tournament in one week, so all those women with matches to be played will have two days in which to find time to play each match. Awards will be made at the next ladies day. As aforementioned, I was gone ten days, so therefore I have not been on the course to see or hear much golfing gossip, which will make for a slightly weak cup to tee talk this week. OVERHEARD: that N D Bailey lost three one dollar bills on the course Monday, which is practic ally as bad as losing three golf balls .... that Bonnie has been having trouble with her golfing game all spring, until a tourn ament starts, and then she starts shooting in the forties (could be B? Jackie Labhart she Is one of the few who plays better under pressure) .... that Kay was so thrilled when she made it across the river on both holes at the Seaside course (in fact we both played the whole course without losing a ball). The bigger courses may be longer than ours, but you have to use your old "noggin" on ours to figure just how to play your ball to stay out of trouble. In other words our links are a 'thinking man's course with an iron" man's taste" ... or "It's what's up front that counts." Another appropro parody for our course, while trying to sink a putt .... "look mom, no cav ities' (and believe me there are times when there doesn't seem to be any holes in our greens. I shall now close with one last television pun in reference to the many lost golf balls . . . . Wanted -Dead or Alive."
